Delegates at Chicago show Blaine not inevitable

A sprawling Iowa pageant notes Blaine’s weak stand and asks what the Towa delegation will do after nomination. It cites BF Allen’s not guilty verdict on embezzlement, railroad rail issues with farmers, Miss Eleanor Sherman’s Washington wedding, Vice President Wheeler’s fatigue of office, Davenport tramp data, iron price drops, and Pennsylvania delegates’ unity myths. It also lists Iowa State Board of Health officers, ongoing Republican splits, and Clear Lake’s summer plan of events.

Blaine boom and anti third term views noted

The text discusses Eli Perkins and John P. Lish involvement with Blaine's literary bureau and mentions public sentiment about presenting Blaine’s name at the Chicago convention. It also recalls Dr. Guilbert of Des Moines at the anti third term convention in St. Louis and references James G. Blaine's views on General Grant's administration as a model of American leadership.

Cook County Republican Convention Sparks Split and Delegates

The Cook County Republican meeting in Chicago split as Grant supporters bolted to form their own Palmer House gathering. After altercations police intervened to prevent clashes. Business proceeded with 58 Washburn and 34 Blaine delegates chosen. The Palmer House delegates propped up Grant, signaling a fight that may move to Springfield and possibly to the national scene. The Journal blames the Grant faction, but the event casts a shadow on Chicago GOP unity.
